This internet thing keeps amazing me. It obviously thinks ›chucknorris‹ is a color.

What’s even more amazing, though, is the guy who knows why:

It’s a holdover from the Netscape days: Missing digits are treated as 0[…]. An incorrect digit is simply interpreted as 0.

So I’ve fiddled with it, and behold, ›glueckpress‹ is a color, too! And a prettier one than ›chucknorris‹. (Naturally so!)

glueckpress, when used as the value for the bgcolor attribute on the body element, produces the color #00c0e0
